Hugo really requires an external amp to sound beefier or with thicker body.
@acain, excellent work on your DIY CIEM's. I bet you had a lots of fun from making those.
BTW, how do you compare your DIY CIEM with other OEM iems you own or owned in terms of sound?
My set up
Headphone grado magnus v5
Dap sony x1060
Amp the protector
It sounds great... Although my senn cans are pretty sweet as well.
This is my first time posting here, everyone has a lot of nice rigs. Here is my current rig, Sony NWZ-S764 Walkman with Fiio Andes E07K connected with a solid silver DIY cable, and DIY CIEM's the CIEM's have Knowles BA's CI for lows and the ED for the highs.
Great stuff man. Even the cable looks mean.
happening now...my fav sound would be ipod+clasdb+hugo..sound is cleaner..a slight more open..and overall sound is firmer.
Surprisingly..double amping the hugo (as suggested by SP3LLV3XIT) is not bad at all..but thats maybe bcos of the masskobo plays the most part. My test is about to find out how good the Hugo is to suit my taste. I think is not bad. But so far is not my best (compared to my other portable setup + iems/cans that i have)...The good news is...i start to like the sound of my hugo. Let see if some more days able change my mind.
